Killian DRAFTING FOR THEColts

FutureB-
A solid, sensible weekend for the Colts: B-. This is the pick they will still be bragging about in July: Smael Mondon Jr., the No. 99 name on the board, stolen at the 187th overall pick. More right than wrong, and a B- to match.
They will need Smith to outplay his draft slot in a hurry to justify it. They covered a lot of ground and still skipped wide receiver, which is a strange place to end up. They went 5 of 8 on their needs, which is most of what a draft is for.
A workmanlike haul that should hold up just fine.
Pick Analysis
Pick14
Rnd1
Walter Nolen
In No. 14 they get a disruptive interior force at fair value. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick45
Rnd2
Nick Emmanwori
A top-tier safety at a bargain, Nick Emmanwori in the 45th pick, plain and simple. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick80
Rnd3
Gunnar Helm
They read the board right and Gunnar Helm was the payoff at the Round 3 slot. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick115
Rnd4
Donovan Smith
Value said wait; Donovan Smith in pick No. 115 says they were not listening. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick150
Rnd5
Danny Stutsman
The board fumbled Danny Stutsman all the way to the 150th overall pick, and they scooped it up. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick187
Rnd6
Smael Mondon Jr.
Smael Mondon Jr. at Round 6, Pick 12 is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick232
Rnd7
Garrett Dellinger
Garrett Dellinger at slot 232 is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
